Earns half a billion global streams

Toronto, ON – Today Norwegian sensation girl in red could melt the coldest of hearts in the lead-up to Christmas 2020, with the launch of her magical new single “two queens in a king sized bed” which gives all the hope you need for a bit of warmth and cheer in the colder months ahead in an already tough year fueled with feelings we have for people we love. Give it a listen here.

Speaking about the song, girl in red said, "reminiscing about a christmas i had with a person i love. when laying in bed glued to their body didn’t feel close enough. when we wanted every second to last forever."

At the core of what is very much a traditional Christmas song about love & the holiday festivities, listeners will also hear what’s made girl in red, real name Marie Ulven, one of the fastest-growing new artists of the year. There’s a playful darkness to her lyrics, as always, where she also stays true to pop hooks that have seen her amass half a billion global streams this year alone. 

The past 12 months have been nothing short of momentous for the singer/songwriter/producer, who’s already sold-out several worldwide shows across the globe, and has garnered widespread critical acclaim including becoming the cover artist of Gay Times. Media accolades are just the tip of the iceberg of a movement with unlimited potential broadly called World In Red.  You can visit the World in Red website here. Recently listeners got the first glimpse of her yet-to-be-named debut album in the shape of latest new single “rue,”  which went on to be placed on the BBC Radio 1 playlist
